Secured to the shaft of the toe-brushGr1 is a pulley g5 around whichand a pulley g secured to the shaft F 3,a belt g7 passes. The shaft F3 is revolved by means of a belt g8 passingaround a pulley g secured to said shaft, thence over idlers g1" securedto a standard g11 affixed to one side of the carriage, and around Vasuitably journaled longitudinal roll H located at the bottom of thecasing along one side wall thereof. The roll H is revolved by a belt H1Vassing around the same and around a pu ley H2 secured to thecountershaft D1. A pinion F5 is secured to the sleeve F 4 and mesheswith the gear-rack f on the yoke-b ar F1, thus serving to respectivelyelevate and lower said yoke-bar when the frame G is lowered and raised,Projecting forward from the yokebar F1 are two sets of companionguiderollers F6 between which two transversely disposed olishing-bands Iare guided; said pohshingands serving to polish the blacklng applied tothe front 'and toe of the shoe by the toe-brushG. are caused to travelin opposite directions in any suitable manner, out as illustrated, twolongitudinal shafts J, Jl are journaled in brackets J2 arranged in setsof two on oposite sides of the reciprocating-carriage.

A second belt j? is crossed and pIassed around the otherpulleyy' and the roll By this arrangement the shafts J, J1, are causedto revolve in opposite directions. Each of said shafts has two spools Kmounted thereon, one spool being loosely mounted and the other spoolbeing affixed. Each polishing-band I passes around the fixed spool onone shaft and the loose spool on the other shaft, thereby permittingeach shaft to vact as a driver for one polishingj-band, and merely asiasupport for the other polishingband designates vertical side dusting andol-' ishing brushes ind'L1 vertical side blacklng- The polishing-bandsthe pivotal points thereof are two springs Z1' tending to 'force thefront ends of the said .supporting-bars inward against depending stopsZ2 formed on said carriage, lhe side dusting and polishing-brushes L areeach secured to a vertical shaft Z4 passing through the front ends ofthe supporting-bars and through the brush supporting-arms, and:

they serve also as the pivotal connections between the saldsupporting-bars and the brush su porting-arms. Secured to thelower entsof each shaft Z3 is a pulley Z around which,idlers Z5 secured to thepivot bolts Z or otherwise, and the longitudinal roll H, belts Z6 arepassed. The side blackingbrushes L1 are each secured to a vertical shaftZ7 assing through tlievrear ends of the brus i supportingarms L and tothe lower ends of said shafts, pulleys Zs are secured, around which anda 4pulley Z ,secured to each of the brush-shafts Z3, a belt Zlo passes.The front end of each supportingbar L2 is provided with a socket Z11into which fits a centrally bored cylindrical boss Z12 formed on each ofthe brush sup ortingarms. Spiral-springs Z13 surround tff. sockets andeach s rin@ has one end thereof engaging one si e e( ge of the suporting-bar and its other end attached to tie opposite side edge of thebrush supporting-arm thus serving to swing the rear ends of saidsupporting-arms inward until arrested by stops Zm formed on thereciprocating-earriage. The brush sup orting-arins L3 are each providedwith a fiirward extension .L4 adapted when the carriage approaches theend of itsforward movement to engage cam-stops lj" secured to theguide-bars c, thereby causing the rear ends of said supporting-arms tobe 'swung outward, by which action the blacking-brushcs are carried awayfrom the shoe. The rear ends of said brush sup orting-arms are providedwith cam edges .25 and when swung outward, they engage theforwardupturned'ends m of two stop-rods M held to yieldingly move lengthwiseIon the reciprocating carriage and cause said stop-rods to slide rearwarduntil the su porting-arms have cleared the upturned enrfs of said rods,when the latter are caused to move forward by the action ofspiral-springs m1. To prevent turning of the stop-rods, each rod isofi'- set, as at m2, and the rear ends thereof are each pivotallyconnected to a trip m3.

l designates a shifting-rod having a belt# shifter r secured to its rearend and being guided in suitable supports r1. The front end of seidshifting-rod is provided Ywith Itwo notches Ir2 on its under side whichero fidapt ed to engage one of the supports r* and prevent unintentionalmovement of said rod. A fiat spring r3 is secured to one of saidsupports and bears against the shifting-rod to hold the notches thereofin engagement with the cooperating support. Collars 1" are formed on orsecured to said rod and bearing against opposing faces ofsaid collarsare spiral springs which' are held loosely on said rod. carriage E endstraddles the shifting-rod; its purpose being to compress the forwardspring r5 when the carriage moves forward and when sufficientlycompressed, cri-use thc pressure to be imparted to the collar againstwhich seid spring beers and thereby disengage the forward notch in theshifting-bar from the support and canse the rear notch to engage saidsupport. This causes the beltshiftcr 'l' secured to said shifting-rod lto shift the belts and reverse the movement of the carriage. The otherspring r serves the seme purpose on the rearward movement of thecarriage. Thevsprings tend to quickly shift the rod when started, andalso tend to .prevent shifting ofthe belts.

Beneath the belt-shifter is n, vertical plate S having an oppositelyinclined upper edge which is so arranged with reference to thebelt-shifter that when the latter is moved into one position,.the erm sthereof hears against one incline of'said plete, and when said shifteris moved into its other position said arm beers against the otherincline of' -ssnd plete.

By this means, accidental shifting of the belts is avoided, essufhcientpressure must be exerted to force the are; over the ridgeformed by the meeting of the opposite inclines, in order to change the'posi-- tion of the belt-shifter to an extent su'licient to move thebelts ltor a reverse movement of the feed-screw c1, ordinary jars andthe wearing of bearing tending to throw the feed-'screw out ofalinernent with cormter shaft l)l being insullicient to torce the arm sover seid ridge.

I have provided coin-controlled mechanisrn for starting end stopping themotor, end

it consists of e coin-chute T hevingtwo notches t formed therein, andhaving also a stop-bar t1 pivoted thereon. Said stop-bar 1s insulatedfrom said chute and 1s provided with two contact teeth 2 which entersaid notches and extend into the path of the coins, but do not come incontact with the metal of the coin-chute. Electric cirouit-A A fork-erinr is secured to the ensei wires t3 connect the chute with thesupplywire, and the stop-lever with the motel', which latter is alsoconnected with the supply-wire, thus forming a "partial circuit whichwill be completed by connection of the chute lwith the sto -bar. Aspring controlled pin t4 passes' t iroufrh the front wall of the casinand enters the coin-chute between seid notches and serves Ito close thecoin-passage. The lower end of the stop 75 bar tl is curved rearwardlyand has one end of a spiral-spring t5 secured thereto; saidl springhaving its other end secured to any suitable fixed point.

U designates a trip-rod having its upper end formed into a hook )assingover the rear curved end of the stopar t1 and being held out of Contacttherew1th by o spiral-'spring u, Said trip rod is provided at its lowerend with s roller u17 and consists of two pivotslly cong5 nectedsections `arranged to be normally held in alinement bya sprin u2, butpermits of the lower section to swing eterally on the upper section. Asthe reciproeating-carriage is moved rearward, the roller u1 is engagedby 90 an inclined bara which. is secured t0 the upper end of one of theposts or standards F; und the trip-rod is elevated until the forward endof seid inclined bar passes in rear of the seme, when seid rodgravitates end causes l the hooked up )er end thereof to strike the rearcurved en ol the stopebar, which causes the upper end of the stop-ber toswing sway momentarily from the coin-chute. When a `coin .is depositedin the coin-chute, it is stopped inits course by the upper Contact tootht2, thereby completing en electric circuit and causing the motor torevolve. The carriage moves forward and backward, and

et the end of its backward movement causes 1w; the trip-rod to beactuated for releasing they, coin, which is next stopped in its coursethrough. therhute by the spring-ContrOlled pint;r

it, which will when drnwn out permit the y coin lo drop against theser-ond contact tooth ,flllzol on the stop-ber, when en electric rircuitis l again established and the carriagemovedllforward and backward. Whenthe carriage :rg-sin reaches the end of its backward stroke the trip-rodnctuates the stop-bar and rei leases the coin, which then idrops intothe coin-receptacle, .lt is thus roivided that the two shoes can beblackene and polished on dormsiting a single coin into the coin-chute.When the carriage E is moved forward, the 12 front elim-edge 'w1 of theinclined bar M3 comes in contact with thelowerl section of the triprod Uand swings said section laterally out of the prith of seid bar, untilthe carriage has passed the latter when the spring o2 causes 12e. thelower section to swing into4 its normal position. i
